Where to go... (holiday / vacation)
« on: April 06, 2004, 04:01:55 PM »
mmm. I know I wanna go... but I don't know where. :confused:  It isn't really summer yet so the club resorts haven't really warmed up in the mediteranian and it isn't really winter so snow is probably off too... I start leave on Friday, this is 2 weeks off that I am determined not to waste on staying at home.

Bear in mind that I am:

1. Young... well I feel young, although I suppose if you round my age off to the nearest 5 I'm actually 30. Scarey thought.
2. Not poor, but not exactly made of money.
3. Looking for some partying and copious amounts of beautiful women.
4. In the UK.
5. Restricted on travelling to some countries because I am in the armed forces.
6. Going on my own.

Where should I head to?

Failing any ideas I'm going to hit the travel agents on Saturday morning with a few hundred pounds and tell them to get me as far away from the UK as possible. :D

Spain of course :)

If you come to Barcelona, give me a call and I'll give you a tour of the surroundings from above ;)

Any Questions?

Iceland!

I've been there a few times. Loved it, if you like being out in all kinds of weather.

I saw a "Wild On" show from the Greek Isles once. I'd go there if I were you.

Heck, I'd go there if I were me, too. :D

Zermatt, Switzerland....

Skiing, beer, good food...   no cars.....

Nice train ride in...   Use europass to get to the last leg.  Then go on magnificent ride thru the mountains..  To arrive in Zermatt..  (Matterhorn)

If conditions are right you can ski from Klein Matterhorn to Italy and back in a day...

"the longest consistently open ski run in Europe (Klein Matterhorn to Zermatt 13 Km - open late November to mid April)"

Ive done that run its awesome..

If out of your budget.. goto Iceland..  Im shure there are some deals going out of the UK..

Skied Zermatt twice...awesome.  But, is there still lots of snow?

I should be recommending Bermuda, but you said you weren't exactly made of money.  It is expensive here...plus you are looking for copius amounts of women, strike off Bermuda again....and although we are a colony it isn't the UK.

Bermuda wiffs 3...it is OUT.

Southern France?  Sicily?  Or if youre up for the plane ride... how about the Caribbean?

Im a palm tree kinda guy so thats what I shoot for when I go on vacation... or as you Brits call it, "holiday."
